Surprise your mum on Mother’s Day with an indulgent breakfast in bed. These Parma Ham, gruyere and poached egg croissants are simple to prepare and delicious served fresh from the oven.

Warm croissants and slice them in half before setting the top halves aside. Top bottom halves with mustard and gruyère and toast until bubbling. Meanwhile, poach eggs for 2-3 minutes. To finish, place a poached egg and Parma Ham slices on the melted cheese and finish with the top half of the croissant. Enjoy!

Parma Ham is a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) product and is 100% natural. The drying process that Parma Ham goes through creates a ham that is very low in fat content, with many mineral salts, vitamins, antioxidants and easily digestible proteins. This means that Parma Ham is truly a food for everyone.

Prosciutto di Parma is produced in the hills surrounding the Italian town of Parma.

The unique taste of Parma Ham is dependent on the traditional production process passed down from Roman times, carefully controlled by the Consorzio del Prosciutto di Parma. Only hams that have passed stringent curing regulations approved by the EU can be awarded the stamp of the Ducal crown – a five pointed coronet logo with PARMA in the centre which is branded onto the ham’s skin. The Ducal Crown is now a certification trademark.
